MANEUVERING CHARACTERISTICS OF AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLED SHIPS WITH DIRECTIONALLY UNSTABLE HULLS

The stabilization of a dynamically unstable ship and the maneuvering characteristics of the combination unstable stabilized ship were studied using the linear and non linear equations of motion of a ship. The Digital Simulation Language (DSL/360) was used to simulate the dynamics of the systems.
